Finding Forever

Finding Love #2

by J.L. Perry

Nobody said it would be easy, nothing worth having ever is.

LOGAN
At first glance, she stole all the air from my lungs, and a year later, nothing has changed. There’s no doubt in my mind Brooke’s the one I’ve been longing for. She’s awoken something inside me … something that’s been lying dormant for ten long years.

Life for her had been hard, but she has me now, and not only am I one hundred percent committed to this woman, I am also prepared to move mountains to see her happy.

However, life has a way of screwing you over when you least expect it; and we’d soon find out that the universe had other plans. What lay ahead has the potential to destroy us, but my forever girl, and our future are worth fighting for.

BROOKE
Logan Cavanagh was the answer to all my prayers … a man who came into my life when I needed him most. He owns my heart, and with him by my side, my future looks bright.

I’ve been knocked down many times in my past but continuously managed to dust myself off and forge forward. My strength and resilience are something I’ve always prided myself on ... they are traits I inherited from my mother.

But I’d soon realise, even the strongest person has a breaking point.

What a book...I laughed,I cried and I became enchanted by the characters and their story.... congratulations J.L.Perry,you wrote an amazing story.

Started strong and then faded

I really enjoyed the start of this book but then, after the accident, I just found it dragged on and on. And then, the turn around from depression to recovery gave me whiplash. It just didn’t make sense that one could be unresponsive for weeks and then have a compete turn around in a matter of hours. My opinion.

After reading book one in this series, I headed straight into book 2. I enjoyed book 1 so much and like movies normally the second one isn't as good. You think things have been written about and unless they are left on a cliffhanger, you are wondering what else can happen.

How wrong was I.

This book had so much emotion. Even to the point I messaged J.L. Perry asking her WHY! Yes I needed answers to why she would shatter my heart the way she did.
What I enjoy about reading J.L Perry's books is how her side characters play amazing parts in the story. You get to know them as well as the main characters.

In the second instalment of this story,

Brooke and Logan have a whirlwind romance and things are going amazingly for them, but someone has it out for Logan. Will Brooke stand by her Hot Stuff? Will their love survive?

Will the loving side of Brooke defy her man to do what she feels is right?

Who will live and who will die.

People are brought together and lives are torn apart.

You are going to have to read it to find out what happens in this amazing story.

This book is an emotional read and one that had me in tears on more than one occasion. Just make sure you have tissues to hand when reading.

On to book 3 for me.

Finding Forever : Second Chance Billionaire Romance by JL Perry picks up with Brooke finally at the place where all her dreams have come true. However, old insecurities keep rearing their ugly heads.  Logan is a man who is so committed. He can't believe how lucky he is to have found her. Will or can this bliss last when nefarious factors are a foot. I was so happy to have read both books back to back. I love it when I don't have to wait for the conclusion to a really good story, and this was definitely one for books. The secrets that were discovered in book 1 followed them into book 2. Therefore, the fabulous title  Finding Forever.  Because that is what this book is all about, whether Brooke and Logan can or will find their forever.  I enjoyed their journey.  A real page turner.  It seems that old saying " if I can't be happy  no one will be happy" applies with this story.  Sit back and enjoy the ride. Love Brooke and Logan's love. Sometimes, bad things happen to good people. Just FYI, there is a little something something that has this reader really excited and mad because she has to wait. Oh, and I will be waiting.  4.5 star read for me.

I had thought book one, Finding Him, had wrapped up perfectly, so I was curious to see what Finding Forever would have in store for us. I was pleasantly surprised! I don’t know how J. L. Perry manages to cram so much into one story, but wow, what a roller coaster this story is.

While book one has a lot of emotion to it, I didn’t feel it all. I felt like this story was so much more heartfelt. The writing was just so engaging, and I could feel all of the emotions with everything that was happening. Brooke and Logan have been through so much. There were parts that made my heart ache and moments so beautiful my heart fluttered. I love watching them together.

A heartfelt, beautiful story filled with love.

[Kellie · Rating 4 out of 5]

Wow, I loved this next instalment on Logan and Brookes relationship! Perry threw the reader into a spin with twists and turns that kept me flicking the pages while evolving a storyline I didn’t think could get any better!

My emotions ran high as I immersed myself into the lives of that characters that Perry brought to life and made us love and while tears were shed in a few parts of this book (both happy and sad) I knew I was emotionally invested in every word that I read. I felt pain, shock, anger, joy, happiness, humour and everything in between which for me is rare to find between the covers of any book.

I devoured this book in 2 sittings and can’t wait to read the rest of this series!

A fantastic 4.5 🌟

Finding Forever - J. L. Perry
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Book 2 in this series and I thought I had reached every emotion possible in the first book…….. how wrong was I!

Both Logan and Brooke had it all but so much more comes out in this book for them before they get their HEA.
These characters are so skilfully crafted, dragging you along for their roller coaster emotional rides but in true Jodi Perry fashion, these strong and yet vulnerable characters work hard at achieving their happy ending.

I can’t wait to get into book 3 of this series. It has been a pleasure reading them, so far, with the promise of more wonderful to come in Jacinta’s story.

[C Schmidt · Rating 5 out of 5]

Book 2 of Logan and Brooke’s love story and I find myself very sad that it’s over. I thoroughly enjoyed the second book even more than the first. Everything written was so true to real life and the struggles faced by couples through the years. Book one ends on the cliffhanger as Logan asks Brooke to become his wife. She says yes and several months later they are married.

I won’t name all the twists and turns the story took, but it definitely felt like a very sweet love story. Logan was an amazing character. His love for Brooke never faltered and he was strong, resilient and hot. This one was a gem and would entice me to read both books a second time. Well done.

[Taz · Rating 5 out of 5]

When an Author makes you feel all the emotion in the character and you get angry, upset, and cry, you know you read a good book. When you have to put it down because you are upset, you have read a great one. Logan and Brooke forever is never a straight, easy road. They have to overcome many obstacles to get to their forever. Their text message exchanges showed their whimsy and fun side.  Perry gave us all the heat we’ve come to know from her while still giving us three-dimensional characters that we grow to love and root for.

[Lisa Habgood · Rating 4 out of 5]

Prepare for tears, anguish and what ifs

Second book in this series following Brooke and Logan. Problems start when Logan is accused of something he hasn’t done and then Brooke is pregnant and is in a car accident, suffers depression and I felt for her and for Logan. He was feeling left out and unable to reach Brooke and I was trying to read faster so I could find out if they mad it, which they did. Loved the series, but give yourself time to read because you will not want to stop reading. I also want a Logan

[Megan Bloomberg · Rating 5 out of 5]

I'm so glad I changed my mind

I wasn't going to read this book. As I felt the 1st in the duet tied up, all loose ends fairly nicely. But something made me press the button to download this one. And it was so worth it. I don't think I have read such an emotionally charged book in quite some time. Love, anger, sadness, fear, shock, laughter, etc... It had everything you could want as far as feels are concerned. I am usually more of a spicey romance reader, not a huge fan of fade to black, but this author gave enough to make me continue on. Highly recommend!

[Must read Romance · Rating 5 out of 5]

Wow! This was an amazing ending to Logan and Brooke’s story. This was not what I was expecting… but WAY better. These two went through so much but through it all they stuck together, even when they weren’t sure they could survive it. I was on an emotional roller coaster during this book, but we get the beautiful happy ending we all want and the journey there was was amazing, even if a bit heartbreaking.

[T J Carmichael · Rating 5 out of 5]

Omg this book was sooo good. I read on average 200 books a year so it takes a lot for a book to be a stand out for me. You have to read the first book before you tackle this one but it is well worth. I fell in love with this couple and reading this book in one season as I couldn’t put it down. I had tears streaming down my face in part, my heart physically breaking, in others I burst out laughing it was so funny. And in the end I just felt joy as it all came together

[Juls Melville · Rating 5 out of 5]

Beautiful and emotional story.

So well written , both books are a gem. So much emotional feelings put into words. This is the way book should be written ,a few laughs , tenderness and love . Even with the sad times , hurt , emotional stress I could feel it all. I highly recommend J . L . Perry as a writer. Go for it , you'll love the time you share with the characters in the story.

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

I enjoyed book 1 but I absolutely devoured book 2 and left absolutely no crumbs. This is what I needed but didn't quite get from book 1, angst, drama, heartbreak, lots of tears in the eyes and then to have it all made better by a beautiful happy ever after.

Well done. Now bring on Jacinta's story.

[Cindy Fong · Rating 5 out of 5]

Logan and Brooke have their moment of love, but the fight isn't over yet. Both will endure more loss but gain their HEA. Logan proves his love and devotion to Brooke time and time again. Brooke is one strong "cookie" with all that she has overcome in her short life. I love the relationship she forges ahead with her father and her compassion for a child in need.

[Kate · Rating 5 out of 5]

Brooks and Logan again loved it. Jodi has captured our attention once again to put an emotional and thoughtful ending to to their HEA and what a ride. I felt every moment reading their book the happy times and the sad times. This is why I loved it when you can feel the story deep in your bones you know it’s a good.

[Kathy · Rating 4 out of 5]

Nice Wrap Up

I found myself invested in reading this, the second book in the series due to the characters. Written with snappy dialogue, well timed snark and enough angst, it is everything we want in a romance. Oh did I mention Logan, the too good to be true H?
His over the top personality works because all the other characters put him in his place, with love and laughter.

[Jennifer · Rating 4 out of 5]

Enjoyable

I loved this book and the story. But to many errors and lack of fact-checking, even if it was fiction. One glaring mistake was the fact that the author said a 15 year was named in a sexual abuse case. This does not happen in Australia. Poor editing but over the story line was great

[Suzie Mullins · Rating 5 out of 5]

Excellent Read

I loved this book. Lots of unexpected twists that really keep you on edge. I couldn’t put it down! I don’t want to post any spoilers for those who haven’t read it but want to. I will say, however, it was nice to see Kathleen get her just dessert!!!! Great read! I highly recommend!

[Smiler The Avid Reader · Rating 5 out of 5]

Amazing!!

I laughed, I cried….then I cried some more and then I laughed again. What a rollercoaster.

The continued story of Brooke and Logan took me on their journey with them. Again so well written. The author has the pace of the storyline just right. Nothing felt too drawn out. I just read with such pleasure following their heartbreak, love and laughter.

[Kristi · Rating 4 out of 5]

I love the first book so much but I don’t feel like it needed a sequel. I loved the main characters but there were way to many bad things happening to them by the end to make it enjoyable. I still liked the storytelling but it started to drag out. I feel like this could’ve been tied up in an epilogue in book one and cut out all the bad parts. Logan really needs to see therapy after the chaos he took into his life for love.

[Angie · Rating 5 out of 5]

I really enjoy reading books in a series because it’s great to follow up on what happens to the characters as the story progresses. I wasn’t expecting such an emotional ride…..I loved it! Cannot wait till book 3!

[Book Lovers Down Under · Rating 4 out of 5]

still good.

I read this when it was first released, it’s still just as good some things have been written differently but still worth the read. Hope you all enjoy as much as I have. Thanks.

[Lisa Roberts · Rating 5 out of 5]

Brooke and Logan are amazing you can feel all the emotions and I love that, Logan is so committed to her even with her insecurities they get their HEA.
The writing is so good it sucks you in and you can't look away. I loved these guys so much.

Disappointed

I loved these two books very much i usually like Mafia books but i really enjoying these books but was very disappointed when you killed Chris off their was another lovely story there.

Good sequel to "Finding Him"

I enjoyed this follow up story, and loved all of the characters introduced in "Finding Him". There were a number of grammatical errors, misspellings and wrong words used, which were distracting. The book needs editing. But, otherwise, enjoyable.
